With my life right now getting thrown for a loop, the only thing that keeps me sane is my workouts. My mother in law right now is taking away some of my time. The current government can take away my job. No one can take away my exercise progress. My new running goal is to [...]
I will be travelling a lot this week and throughout the month. Also, things are becoming more uncertain in terms of my job. I may be spared, but I may not. This means I will be doing more recipes that will use less expensive ingredients. I don't want to keep spending more money than I [...]
I wanted to share a bit of a pet peeve of mine. If you look at several vegetarian recipes online, there is one thing that they seem to have in common. I am excluding vegetable side dishes. It's the statement, "It's better than meat!" It's not better than meat. A vegetarian recipe is good in [...]
Those last five pounds are a doozy. I've had to take a scalpel to my eating. Deleting things and moving calories around so I am not so hungry. Eating under 1600 calories is hard for me. One thing to note: I am not on a diet. I'm still eating my regular foods. The changes I [...]
I'm hoping I can get back to normal this week. Since the time change, I've done nothing but travel. Ruined my sleep. Had to ditch my normal workouts for this past week. I stayed at a hotel that said they had a workout room. They did, but it didn't open until 6am. I'm up way [...]
I drew a line in the sand this week. I am NOT buying any more blueberries. Every time someone asks for them, they never get eaten. They just sit in my freezer. My mother in law was the last one. I bought frozen blueberries because she asked for them. Then after eating them, decided she [...]
I'm slowly but surely going through my freezer. There's a lot of food I have forgotten about. I found a spiral sliced ham. We haven't eaten ham in a long time. There's a ton of frozen asparagus. Tony was eating a ton of it, then stopped. Not sure why. This Sunday I am making a [...]
Things have been doing much better these days. My mother in law is less argumentative and distracted. I have also been starting to pinch hit taking care of her so Tony can get some things done. He plans on taking a trip soon and I am ready to take on full time care while he [...]
This week is definitely a week of firsts. First run at -4F. First time I hit a weight I haven't seen since 2020. Running at that low of a temperature is borderline insane. Losing weight has been something that has required patience. It has also happened by using some better tools. I have been using [...]
Wow, this week was brutal. I swear I barely had time to breathe, let alone get anything done. Nothing is on schedule. I am getting up earlier just to get everything done. The one thing I won't compromise on is making sure I get a workout in. I've been getting up some mornings at 3:45am [...]
